Description

Lysine is an essential amino acid required by both humans and animals but is not produced naturally by them. Growing meat consumption around the world is one of the major factors driving the demand for lysine. However, the tight feedstock supply is expected to impact profitability for market participants.

This report measures, analyzes, estimates and forecast the global demand for lysine over the next six years. The study discusses drivers and restraints for lysine market with opportunities for growth for the same in the near future. The report also discusses about the global consumption in terms of volumes and revenues.

The report also analyzes key raw materials required for lysine production including potential raw materials such as methanol and cassava which are now being considered for producing lysine. The report provides comparative analysis of various amino acids with their market estimates and forecast from 2011 to 2018. The study includes analysis of the market segmented by application, livestock and geography. The report includes estimates and forecast for each application market from 2012 to 2018. The study also includes market estimates and forecast of other amino acid such as methionine, threonine and tryptophan in terms of volumes and revenues from 2010 to 2018.

The study analyzes the market with help of value chain analysis, to understand the major players in the whole supply chain. This study also includes Porter’s Five Forces Study, which helps to understand the competition from the point of view of supplier power, buyer power, substitutes and new entrants in the market.

The research report estimates and forecast the demand pattern for lysine in various geographies such as North America, Europe, China, Latin America, Rest of Asia Pacific and RoW. Granular data on a regional level has also been provided for key countries including U.S., UK, Germany, Japan, India, Brazil and Argentina from 2011 to 2018, in terms of volumes and revenues.

Free Market Analysis

The global lysine demand was 1,445.0 kilo tons in 2009 which increased to 1,610.0 kilo tons in 2010. The growing demand of meat, especially in developing countries is expected to drive the market for lysine in the near future. Lysine as a feed additive is essential for the growth of animals especially swine and poultry. Industrial lysine also has advantages over its natural substitute (soybean) which is driving the global market for lysine. Lysine has same nutritious value as soybean have and moreover, lysine is considered to be a more economical option for animal feed. Lysine also helps in reducing the nitrogen content in animal excreta which leads to less pollution. Ban on blood meal and bone meal in some regions around the world is also boosting the demand for lysine.

Lysine is one of the 20 amino acids essential for humans and animals. Lysine has a positively charged ε-amino group and act as a building block for proteins. Also known as L-Lysine, it is important for human health but it cannot be produced naturally by any animal or humans. As a body is unable to manufacture it, lysine has to be taken through diet or food supplements. Lysine is required for bone development as it helps to absorb calcium and it is also important in functioning connective tissues, skin and tendons. Lysine also plays a major role in body’s production of enzymes, hormones and antibodies.

Biosynthesis of lysine takes place only in plants and bacteria through aspartic acid. Natural sources for lysine are soybean, lentil, chick pea, milk and some more. For human bodies and animals it has to be ingested in the body through food, supplements or drugs. Production of lysine is done by chemical process, enzymatic method and majorly by fermentation. Industrial production of lysine is done via fermentation process using a micro organism called as corynebacterium glutamicum. Raw materials like sugar, corn, sugarcane or sugar beet molasses are majorly used in the fermentation process.

High demand for meat is key driving factor for the demand of animal feed and hence for lysine demand, which in turn is increasing the demand of feed stock for lysine production (sugar molasses, maize, corn and more). Due to tight supply of the raw materials and adverse weather conditions, raw materials are experiencing a surge in their price. Owing to high raw material cost industrial producers are looking for more economical raw material.
